ORGANISATIONS CONNECTED TO THE SCHOOL St Paul’s Collegiate Foundation Limited The Foundation was established in 2004 as the key fundraising arm for St Paul’s Collegiate School. It is wholly owned by the Trust Board of the School but encouraged to operate “independently” in its fundraising activities. It is considered important when fundraising that donors are provided with a high level of comfort that a proportion of their donated funds will be allocated to capital enhancement while some will be spent on immediate projects / scholarships. In recognising the desire to meet these needs and establish and grow a long term capital fund the Foundation category allocations have been adopted as follows: • Management and administration • Capital growth • Grants, scholarships and special projects. The Foundation continues to provide scholarships and has made considerable contributions towards significant projects undertaken by the School. Such projects include upgrading of the Tihoi accommodation, the provision of a High Ropes Challenge Course and fleet vehicles at Tihoi. Members of the School community can contribute to the School’s ongoing development by making donations each year through an annual giving programme, endowment fund or through bequests. For further information contact the Foundation by phoning the School or emailing foundation@stpauls.school.nz The St Paul’s Collegiate School Association Inc (The Parents’ Association) The St Paul’s Collegiate School Parents’ Association provides a forum that gives parents the opportunity to participate in and contribute to a wide range of school related activities. The committee of the Association is elected at the Annual General Meeting usually held in March, and meets monthly. The Association aims to foster and promote the welfare of the School, and to co-operate with the Board, the Headmaster, the Old Collegians and any other group working towards these ends. A compulsory fee is charged to all parents on a per term basis, with other School fees. The Parents’ Association activities are diverse, and include raising funds to help the School, organising social functions, and the undertaking of numerous responsibilities to further enhance the success of the School and foster unity between staff, parents and students. Much of this work is carried out at sub-committee level and involves parents who may not necessarily be members of the Parents’ Association Committee. A list of current committee members is located on the website www.stpauls.school.nz For further information contact the Parents’ Association by emailing parentsassociation@stpauls.school.nz St Paul’s Collegiate School Old Collegians’ Association The Old Collegians’ Association is an active body, which since its formation in 1960 has made significant contributions to the development of the School. The Association is an independent organisation administered by a committee of Old Collegians which is elected on an annual basis, and has an Executive Officer who oversees the running of the Association and the achievement of its objectives. A compulsory lifetime membership is offered by the payment of a fee set by the St Paul’s Collegiate School Handbook 35 STATE IN FIDE
